SmartUnity Building Automation is automation middleware for Beckhoff PLC-based building automation systems. It allows visual programming of Beckhoff PLCs for HVAC, lighting, energy management, security, and other automation using a configuration software. The configuration software lets you program actions, triggers, conditions, and scenarios visually without traditional IEC 61131 languages. SmartUnityBAS supports many common building automation protocols and can integrate with SCADA systems. It provides benefits like less programming effort, easier debugging and maintenance compared to traditional PLC programming.
